The earliest I'm aware of is 2.1mil. Most collectors shy away from anthing over 3.9 to 4 mil. even though some say the RED was marketed after that in some parts of the world.

While it's generally reported the RED was first produced circa 1966, some feel the watch actually became available to the public around 69 based on serial number projects conducted by collectors.

I agree with Mike above. Earlier this month I saw proof of an earlier model here.http://stefanomazzariol.blogspot.com...%20ref.%201680
